he comes from smb 1

He's a Koopa turtle who can control the clouds. He wears a big pair of glasses and his shell has stripes on it instead of the Hexagonal pattern of most other Koopas.
In Super Mario Kart, Lakitu was a useful character for Nintendo because he could fly around on the screen without getting in the way and rescue you too, thanks to his cloud. I expect it could have just of easily been a Koopa Paratroopa or something, but Lakitu looks friendly enough. In following games, Lakitu then started to take on more and more roles as a friendly and helpful character, not always fighting. But don't forget, there were mean fighting Lakitus in SM64 as well.

And now in Paper Mario too, although as far as I know they only appear in one key battle in Flower Fields (but I may have forgotten about some other places ^_^).
Just for historical interest, the original SMB manual describes Lakitu as:
Lakitu [bitmap picture]
The mysterious turtle who controls the clouds. He chases after Mario and drops Spiny's eggs on top of him. . . . .200 PTS.

who says that there all bad? There can good or neutral charectors like in Paper Mario. Also in Mario Tennis ParaTroppa seemed more like a good guy in it
"PARATROOPA'S, ATTACK"

Aye. Not all Goombas, Koopas, Lakitus, etc. are bad.
I think it has to do with them actually joining the Koopa Troop, then most of the youngin's are just born into Bowser's service.
